Effect of Ethanol Extract of Red Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) on the Follicle Stimulating Hormone Levels among Wistar Rats (Rattus norvegicus) Exposed to Cigarette Smoke
Ethanol extract of red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) contains chemical
compounds of ascorbic acid, carotenoite, phenolic acid, betalain, and
favonoids. Red beetroot supplements can prevent oxidative damage to the
structure of DNA, lipids and proteins in vitro. This study aims to prove that
the ethanol extract of red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) has an effect on
increasing FSH levels among female white rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed
to cigarette smoke. This was an experimental study with the post-test only
control group design. The current study involved 25 female rats which were
assigned into 5 groups: negative control, positive control, treatment I, II and
III. The doses of red beetroot extract used were PI (125 mg/kgBW/day), PII
(250 mg/kgBW/day), and PIII (500 mg/kgBW/day). Data were analyzed
using One Way ANOVA with p-value of FSH (p = 0.000). The results of the
study proved that administration of red beetroot ethanol extract at a dose of
500 mg/kgBW/day could increase the ovarian FSH levels among female rats
exposed to cigarette smoke.
